Central location, but unfortunately noisy with the main road traffic all night, bar downstairs, the room was run down, had a mouldy funky smell and bed that sinks into the middle and squeaks. Rude and aggroant male staff who checked us in.

An inexpensive place to stay and conveniently close to Town Hall Station. Basic, but adequate, facilities and room. Only downside is the noise from Scary Canary-at least on Saturday nights. They do provide ear plugs though!

6/10 Good

24 hour check in was great, although you have to download another app. We had a small private room with a double bed and ensuite. It was extremely clean and comfortable with a nice view of the Sydney Tower. Staff were all friendly. No parking is available so you have to pay in the nearby *expensive* Wilson parking lot (or there is free street parking parking between 10pm-8am on Saturday nights!)

8/10 Very good

The front reception crew were pleasant. It was a quiet place (except for the air conditioning). However, the photograph of the room (on the website) was deceiving as the it did not show how small the room was. The showers need small benches to put toiletry bags etc on so that they do not get wet and not placed onto a dirty floor.
